REQUIREMENT FOR CHILDREN AND YOUTH SACRAMENT PREPARATION
Sacrament Preparation is a mandatory 2 consecutive years of preparation. Your child is eligible to sign up for the Sacrament Preparation class AFTER your child has already completed one full year of Faith Formation the previous year.
If this is your first year of Faith Formation, use the online Faith Formation Registration form to join our program. The kindergarten program is NOT considered as the first year of preparation for Sacrament preparation.
If Faith Formation was completed from another parish for the first year, we need for you to provide a letter from the director/coordinator of that parish before we can process your registration form.
If 2024-2025 is your child's second year of Faith Formation, do join our Sacramental Preparation program by filling out this form and making a payment.
Note: In joining our program its a parent's commitment to grow their children in the Catholic Faith. You are agreeing that your child will continue to be a part of the formation program even after receiving the Sacraments. Thank you for choosing to grow your children in faith and helping us journey with you as one family in Christ.
Holy Family is a " restored order" parish wherein the celebration of the sacraments of Confirmation and First Eucharist are received together. “Restored Order” is intended to celebrating the sacraments of initiation in the order in which God designed them to be administered: Baptism, Confirmation, and First Eucharist. It also restores the practice of administering the sacraments of Confirmation and First Eucharist to children of an early age, which is how the early Church practiced the first 500 years. Following the lead of official documents that were issued by the Church after the Second Vatican Council, more and more churches are restoring this original order to the celebration of the sacraments of Christian initiation." - http://rclbsacraments.com/eucharist/restored-order
